If you care about the area you live in, you care about land use.
Project 7B focuses on how land is used by everyday people. Our goal is to get citizens engaged in local land use, because whether or not they pay attention to zoning codes, everyone cares about the outcome. We care about having public waters that are safe for our children to swim in, free of sewage or pesticide runoff. We care about the cost of living, and the freedom to enjoy public access. We care about breathing clean air, enjoying our spectacular rural spaces, and preserving local agriculture and food supply. Project 7B believes these are nonpartisan issues, and our supporters come from all backgrounds and walks of life.
We keep track of local land use hearings (see calendar below) and offer a variety of resources for citizens to learn more.
